Slow down when approaching people on Mar 25, 2015 at 6:13 pm
I find drivers in general in Whitehorse to be a very inconsiderate bunch. I can understand driving faster when heading to PC or up Hamilton B, but when you get into downtown or the neighborhoods you should be slowing, especially for pedestrians. I don't know how many times I have taken my dogs for a walk along Lazulite and vehicles are flying up and down there like it is a freeway!!

Seems we have lots of crime up in that part of town for some odd reason.
A few unsolved murders and gobs more that "never" makes PC news.
Kinda seems to me..a no go zone for the yellow stripes and red stripes?
Is it that they wish to not offend and deflect instead?
I always thought it was protect and serve...the whole community?
I hope this lady is going to be okay.
